This is such B.S. Why do people have to carry weapons into polling places.It could easily be construed as intimidation.This interpreted by the "Strange" man, who won't debate they guy who's running against him, for Attorney General.

And YES I know it says for the runoff but this "7 page advisory" will hold the same weight for the general election unless challenged.

MONTGOMERY | With Alabama’s runoff election a week away, the attorney general is telling county commissions that they don’t have the authority to prohibit firearms at polling places.

The Chambers County Commission sought the advice of Attorney General Luther Strange after a few people carrying exposed guns showed up at polling places in Chambers and Shelby counties during the primary election June 3.

The attorney general issued a seven-page advisory opinion Monday that says state law doesn’t give the county commission the authority to ban weapons at polling places. But it says state and federal laws that ban weapons in some public buildings, such as courthouses and schools, still apply when those venues are used as polling places. It also says churches and other private buildings used as polling places may prohibit guns, including those carried by people with permits to have concealed weapons.

Big Luther knows his base....attack Obama, stand up for guns anywhere and anytime, stop gambling in Alabama(his biggest donors are MS casinos), attack gay anything, help put the church further in control of public sector activities.

In my state the law has been passed to carry a gun into a bar or church is ok?

I say if you need to carry a gun to church ,then you need to change churchs!But then you have so much adultly,molesters,people hiding behind the church just like the Rosses among millions more.Which is all devils sitting on the front pew to do his damage and ruin maybe the few good people that's left!

The issue isn't whether or not it's a good idea to bring guns to a polling place, or whether or not it's legal, the issue is who has the legal standing and authority to ban them. Big Strange Luther correctly said that it is not the County Commissioners who have that power, under the law.

Openly carried guns should not be taken around or into polling places, but you need to find the correct party who can legally issue such a ban to do so.

Concealed guns are okay in polling places, for those people who have a concealed carry permit, such as I do.

People tried to ban black people from going to the polls and it took people like Mr Strange to say that they didn't have the authority to ban people from doing a legal Constitutionally guaranteed activity at the polls. No one is forcing anyone to carry a gun, if you don't want to carry one then don't do it. Just like no one is forcing anyone to take part in a gay or interracial marriage so if you don't agree with it then don't do it but don't prevent others that have no problem with those things from exercising their rights.

Gay marriage will cause the downgall of society but gun laws that facilitate mass murder are OK cause the Founding Fathers thought the colonists needed protection from foreign armies....that right there is biblical logic.
